President Trump brashly announced "I'm proud to shut down government"
if the soon to be dominant Democrats in Congress don't fund his
southern border wall. Is he bluffing? Probably not. It's one of the main
promises he made during his 2016 presidential campaign. He should keep
it.
Democrats and Republicans have been slugging it out toe-to-toe for weeks now over building the wall. Democrats have offered a grudging $1.3 billion to build the barrier to illegal immigration, while Republicans seek $5 billion.
Meeting with the Democrats' leaders, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer and soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Trump was blunt: "I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck."
He means it. And he should. Earlier this year, Schumer & Co. pushed hard to give amnesty to the so-called "Dreamers." He shut down the government for three days before caving in. Why? Because he feared the illegal immigration issue was so potent it might damage the chances of Democratic congressional candidates.
